Towards midnight, Kania awoke from her sleep, her stomach feeling very hungry. Kania came down from her room to the kitchen, where she opened the refrigerator and saw her favorite oxtail soup and fried tender meat. He took both foods and heated them in the microwave.
After cleaning all the food marks, Kania returned to the room again. In the room, he returned to work on the ritual that some days had begun to be occupied by him. The smell of incense back in the room mingled with the smell of cantile flowers.
His eyes continued to stare towards the straw doll that was still attached to Rasti's photo. Smirk Kania's smile re-emerged on her sexy lips, for a while she felt very satisfied with the results she got this morning.
'For a while, I set you free Rasti, because your path of pain is still very long. It is not yet that you experience the peak of suffering, wait for that moment to come, inner Kania.
Kania's lips began to cast a spell, this time he wanted to disturb Rasti in his long sleep so that the snake woman quickly woke up and returned to her moons, because Kania wants to play around first with his enemy before finally eating him with a deadly can.
Suddenly a cold wind blew inside Kania's tightly shut room, making the room curtains and decorations hanging on the walls of her room sway without anyone touching. The flame in the candle that Kania lit was winding as if it was about to be extinguished, the large mirror on the wall of his room began to crackle and ...
Kriet's!
The door of Kania's room opened itself, it was not seen who had opened it. Then the door closed again by itself without any figure seen coming out or entering. Again there was a fishy aroma that began to be friendly with his nose.
'What are you calling me, Kania? Do you need my help? Just say what you want, ' said a raucous voice that began to be familiar in his eardrum.
"Yes, I'm calling you. I want you to disturb this woman in her subconscious so that she wakes up quickly and we get a balanced enemy, unlike now. About the gift for you, just suck the blood of the woman or take whatever you meet in the hospital," Kania told the invisible figure.
'Well, I will follow your will, I will enter his subconscious and make him wake up, ' whispered the figure then disappeared.
After performing the ritual that night, Kania decided to re-engage with her favorite blanket on the bed. While waiting for the morning to come, Kania daydreams again to remember all the events of five years ago, when she, her father and mother were still living together.
Five years ago
Kania still shuddered in horror as she recalled her grandfather's words about the impending misfortune befalling up to seven derivatives when there was a lizard falling right over her head. Kania is afraid to imagine the various misfortunes that will befall himself and all his descendants later.
'It's not really what Grandpa once said if there was a lizard fall head it means shit up to seven derivatives. Am I also going to be unlucky because my head fell lizard earlier? If so, what kind of misfortune would I get? Hiiiii .. cringe ..' Inner Kania as she rubbed both her arms that began to bristle.
Kania was so restless thinking about it that she could not sleep all night. So the next morning when he went down to the dining room for breakfast, his father and mother immediately fussed over his appearance which day did not look like the usual days.
"Assalamualaikum, Daddy's girl. What's the matter? Why is the face of my favorite girl today so tangled? You got a problem with your new job? With your graduation preparations? Or with your wedding preparations? Try the same story of father and mother," asked Kania's father curious.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Daddy, Mom. Kania there is no problem in the new office, for the preparation of graduation has also been done just waiting for the day of graduation, marriage preparation can still be handled, Dad," explained Kania
"Lhah, continue what makes the faces of this mother and father's favorite children become this mess. Like you haven't slept all night." Kania's mother's replacement is looking for her.
Kania let out a long sigh, there was a sense of hesitation to tell his worries to his parents, other than not wanting to add to the burden of his father and mother's thoughts, in addition to not wanting to add to the burden of his mind, Kania was also afraid of being laughed at for believing such absurd things.
However, the insistence of his parents who continue to ask him to tell stories, making him give up and tell everything, starting from his head that was hit by a lizard and about the words of his late grandfather about the misfortune that he will receive.
"So gini, Dad, Mom, last night finished praying tahajud when Kania wanted to sleep there was an incident. Kania's head was lashed, the lizard's reflexes Kania threw away and Kania took another bath because of it, but the problem was not that. The problem is, Father and Mother do not want the late grandfather ever say what about the head that fell lizard?" kania asked her father and mother.
Kania's father and mother looked at each other and shook their heads together, a sign that the two of them did not know what Kania meant.
Kania sighed before returning to continue the story, "formerly .. deceased grandfather once told Kania if our head fell lizard, then we will experience bad luck for seven derivatives, Well, Mom. Kania was afraid that it would happen, Kania could not imagine what if it really happened," Kania said as she stared timidly at her parents' beads.
Irvan and Citra exchanged glances for a moment before finally the laughter of the two of them burst out violently, "hahaha! Ahaha! Ahaha! Oh, my God, Kania. So that's what makes you scared until you don't sleep all night creating this panda eye. Ahaha! Ahaha!" joked Kania's father while continuing to laugh out loud.
Hearing the taunts of her father and mother, Kania wrinkled her face, she felt so embarrassed that she was already so naive. Everything his mother said was true and he knew it, but somehow his heart felt an oddity when his head was lashed last night.
Citra and Irvan who saw the change in Kania's face, simultaneously came to Kania and hugged her. Withholding laughter, Irvan and Citra said it was all just a myth that need not be thought about and worried, let alone to make him not sleep all night.
"Kania, Honey. What was said by your late grandfather is not all true, whatever you have heard you have to filter really let alone about myths like this. No need to think about it, even more so that it makes you not sleep all night. Father and mother ask, you do not think of negative things like that, so that it does not come true. Remember, you have God" Irvan remembers and Citra.
Seeing Kania just silently listening, Irvan added again, "dad and dear mother Kania, we will not let anything bad happen to Kania, right, Mom?" Irvan asks for the support of his wife to convince Kania not to be too afraid anymore.
"Yes, said father. Father and mother will not stay silent, if there is someone or something will harm you, son. We will always take care of you as much as we can and always remember God who never stops taking care of you especially when father and mother are not there" Citra said, "well, now let's get rid of this panda eyes mumpung still have thirty minutes left before you leave for work," Citra invites Kania to refresh her appearance before work.
The image then took one cucumber and two clean spoons along with one bowl of ice cubes. While slicing the cucumber into two thin slices, he soaked the two spoons into an ice cube bowl then he told Kania to stick the two cucumber slices in his eyes for ten minutes.
After ten minutes, Citra told Kania to replace the two cucumber slices by sticking two cold spoons in both eyes for ten minutes. After doing the therapy, Citra told Kania to wear makeup as usual, "really amazing! My two eyes disappeared instantly!" decak Kania.
"Thank you, Mom. Not wrong choice of mother used to be an international MUA (make-up artist), mother's hands are great," praise Kania while kissing her mother's cheek.
The image of laughing happily at Kania, the girl has returned cheerful, "sama-sama, dear. You've been spouting make-up there, time's almost up."
In a hurry, Kania swept thin and natural make-up to her already beautiful face. Not until ten minutes, Kania was ready to leave for the office.
"Mom, Kania went to the office first. Thanks for everything, Mom. I love you. Assalamualaikum," said Kania to her mother while kissing her hands and then kissed the two cheeks of the beautiful woman.
"Fii amanilah. Don't speed! Keep praying and don't forget to have lunch! Wa'alaikumsalam," said Citra half-screaming reminded Kania who ran away after kissing him earlier.
Not long after, there was the sound of a distarter car, speeding through the asphalt leaving the house.
The image smiled as he shook his head to see the behavior of his daughter, "ck, already wanted to marry but the behavior was still rich little children. Basic, Kania."
"Who's a rich kid, honey?" irvan asked suddenly while hugging from behind, making Citra surprised.
"Astaghfirullahaldzim, Dad! Bust surprised! Dad still at home?" exclaim Citra who did not expect her husband still did not go to work.
Irvan nodded with a smile to see his wife who he thought was getting more beautiful. Suddenly his desire to seduce his wife, "a beautiful mother wants to make another child?" seductive Irvan while raising her two thick eyebrows.
The image blushed embarrassed to hear her husband's seduction, her face was already flushed like a tomato. While pinching the waist of a handsome and handsome man even though he was forty-five years old, "sttt! Shame on!" abugn.
"But you want to, right?" reply Irvan, they then join hands friendly to go to the bedroom and continue their intimacy.
